Here are some good news: 9 September Associated Press Iranian Dissident Cleric to Teach Again

A leading Iranian dissident cleric will resume his religious teaching next week after spending five years under house arrest, his son said Tuesday.

Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, 81, will begin teaching advanced religious studies Sept. 17 at a mosque close to his hometown of Qom, Ahmad Montazeri told The Associated Press.

Government officials were not available for comment.

The senior Montazeri was placed under house arrest in 1997 after telling his students that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was incompetent to rule.

The Supreme National Security Council lifted the house arrest in late January as Montazeri's health deteriorated.
